What if someone boldly claimed that Jesus himself said He wasn’t God? How would you tackle this intriguing challenge? Let’s dive into this thought-provoking dilemma together. Recently, a viral video titled “Christianity DEBUNKED in Less Than 1 Minute” sparked this very debate presented by a Muslim named Hamza. Essentially, here’s how Hamza frames his argument: […]
[Editor’s Note: This blog was originally posted on Mama Bear Apologetics] Do you have a sciency cub? Do they make comments about things like “the starlight problem” and “multiverse theory” that make your eyes glaze over? No fear! We got you, mama bears! Our friend, Michael, is not only a sciency-bear, but a really good […]

I don’t know if you’ve had a chance to look into the Mormons or not. I’m here in Arizona, and they tend to enjoy a state just north of me: Utah. I’m not super old, but I’m old enough to remember a few waves of Mormon advertisements, and I’m starting to notice a pattern, or […]
As many readers will know, I am a card-carrying Bayesian when it comes to hypothesis testing. I recently interviewed Tim McGrew (professor of philosophy at Western Michigan University) for the ID the Future podcast on the application of Bayesian reasoning to intelligent design. I have also previously been interviewed by Andrew McDiarmid on the same subject. In […]
As I’m writing this blog, on March 26, 2016, a young woman by the name of Noelia Castillo Ramos is being euthanized in Spain.[i] Unfortunately, this is nothing new in our Western society. Medically assisted suicide has been legal in Canada for almost 10 years.[ii] Australia, New Zealand, Canada, Colombia, Cuba, Ecuador, Austria, Belgium, Germany, […]
